One of the apple trees I got from the former Bear Creek is definitely not the variety I ordered and I'm hoping you can guess which variety. The fruit ripens late September to Early October. It is green but slightly less intensely green (yellower?) than a Granny Smith. It has no red blush, no hint of red at all. It could be said that it is a yellow-green and has tiny dots of darker green throughout its surface. Fruits are (very slightly) flattened, a hair smaller than a baseball. Flesh is white and browns (oxidizes) readily. Pleasant flavor, not aromatic; good, fresh-eating apple.
The tree has a spreading habit and has withstood -45º.
